Julien,
I don't know if you have this, but here is the transcript of a newspaper article that I found a while back.
From the Dothan Herald, Monday Evening, January 9, 1909 edition:
"Mr. W. J. Jerkins of Round Lake, Fla., passed through the city last night on his way to Alanta to meet his wife who is on her way home from Hot Springs, Ark., with their son, Dr. LaFayette Jerkins, who is dying of blood poision, contracted while performing an operation last June on a woman from Moultrie, Ga., who had a tumor on the neck.Mr. Jerkins did not expect to find his son alive when he meets them in Atlanta.
Dr. Jerkins was raised mostly here and is well known and has many friends in Dothan, who will regret to hear of his misfortune, in which in his efforts to cure others, he loses his own life."
Obviously, the story of his death was a few years premature.
